upper arm uniball joint

[Adryan]

thanks for the tip.

I’m actually shopping for wheels and i would like to know if thecenter bore hub of the wheel may affect the fitment of the wheel?

the wheel I want to go for is 18x9 5x114.3 hub +12 offset and bore 83.7mm, but from the stock wheel is 72.6mm.

can someone tell me if this wheel will actually fit my 08 ex. 4x4 4.6lor will I need a wheel spacers?

Any update?

Nice work! These UCA’s are so incredibly well made, I’m really looking forward to picking up a set for my build.

the bore rides on the lips on the rotor if to small wont fit and to big it wont center it self on the rim some try it but i would check with rim company and see what they say

Hello Michael

got my set done and I love it.

here is the the final product, just need to get the alignement done. And that will be tomorrow.

Juste have some minors rubbing on the inner fenders.

I like what you did there. I'm heading in same direction but a couple of steps behind you.
I have 32's, 245-75/17 BFG KO2s on stock rims, no rub. I have supreme 3"/2" spacers to put on, and ordering the BTF UCAs soon, will put them and spacers both on in spring when the snow melts.
Already did the sway bar bushings and end links.
Which struts did you use?
